No. Partially, this is because there can't be such a library because the
GNU compiler does not work as the one described in the C++ FDIS
(final draft international standard, approved on Nov 14th at the joint
ANSI/ISO meeting in Morristown, NJ).
I have heard that Ulrich Drepper is working on an implementation of
IOStreams and locales (you can't implement the one without the other;
at least locales are absolutely necessary to implement templatized
IOStreams). However, I think this implementation will not be integrated
soon into the egcs release (partially because it is not yet ready,
AFAIK).
I'm working in my spare time on an implementation of locales and
IOStreams
which uses a somewhat different approach than Ulrich's implementation
(he
is building the C++ part on top of C; I'm doing it the other way
around).
Unfortunately, I have to work for a living and thus can't spent time
much on the
implementation of IOStreams...
